North Korea Leader on TV Without Cane but Still Limping in Sign of Recovery

North Korea's state television showed leader Kim Jong Un on Thursday walking with a limp but without a cane in the clearest indication yet that he was recovering from an unconfirmed health problem that had kept him sidelined for more than a month. Kim had been seen without a walking stick in still pictures issued by the North's official media this week, after he emerged in mid-October from a long absence, ending speculation over his health and grip on power in the secretive state.
